From main dishes to sides to salads, the 10 best corn recipes are a mix of easy vegetarian and vegan options that make the most of corn season.
When I say I love corn, the word love might not be strong enough. I try to eat corn pretty much everyday during corn season.
Currently in my fridge you will find leftover grilled corn kernels that I use in anything I can including sides, salads and even scrambled eggs.
There is so much you can do with corn. This list includes 10 of my absolute favorites. And with most of them, I slice the kernels off the cobs. Of course, there is nothing wrong with traditional corn on the cob slathered with butter, but why limit yourself?

A sheet pan is all you need to make these easy baked zucchini corn fritters. Served with a tomato salad, they are a great vegetarian appetizer or main dish. Besides the obvious that baked fritters are healthier than fried ones, they are just easier to make. It’s that simple.
This sheet pan baked feta with vegetables is a simple one-pan vegetarian meal with zucchini, corn and tomatoes. Serve it with pearl couscous, farro or rice.
This combination of grilled zucchini, summer squash and corn is seasoned with a blend of oregano and more dried spices. After it's off the grill, I stir in lemon juice, feta and fresh herbs.
With grilled lemon, scallions, feta and walnuts, this grilled corn couscous is a fantastic summer side dish. It’s made with plump grains of pearl couscous. I love how the corn and couscous are basically the same size.
Looking for a way to really celebrate corn season? Try grilled corn and avocado with cilantro pesto as a side or a salad with or without tortilla chips. Pumpkin seeds keep the pesto nut-free.
Seasoned in cumin, chili powder and paprika, the corn has a kick in this roasted corn salad with chopped romaine, crumbled feta, scallions, sunflower seeds and white wine vinaigrette.
